From the ground up, Michigan Peat Company is dedicated to quality.
Over the past 50 years, Michigan Peat has earned a reputation for providing products that surpass the standards of discriminating professional growers and home gardeners. That's because we precisely formulate and blend our mixes using only high-quality ingredients to put "nature and science in balance". You can count on our consistent quality in every Michigan Peat product you use. It's the Michigan Peat difference.
As a long-time supplier to gardening hobbyists and professional growers, Michigan Peat understands the importance of responsible use of our resources. We are proud of the sound environmental stewardship that we have practiced for decades at all our locations. The respect for the land, water and air that began with our founders so long ago remains at the center of our culture and heritage today.

“As we continue with our business philosophy of whatever it takes to make it easier for our customers to do business with us, we have discovered new customers asking for our help with their receiving/delivery dilemmas. Many potential customers were not aware that we have a customer-friendly delivery system waiting for them that not only saves them time, but will provide ease of off-loading. We have a delivery solution for each customer and their special needs,” says Todd Plaisted, owner of Peat, Inc.
Peat, Inc. is a unique golf, sports turf and horticulture peat supply company because we are affiliated with Plaisted Companies, the largest full-service golf course supplier in the upper Midwest. This means we can control the quality of the process from peat harvest to final mix. Plaisted’s blending services and sand business uses Peat, Inc. in their products too—so we understand the importance of quality and a consistently excellent product.
Minnesota peatlands are approximately six thousand years old and contain the largest development of patterned peatlands in the lower forty-eight states. Peat, Inc. is a Minnesota-based peat company servicing worldwide. We harvest peat about six months a year, but stockpiles of this natural resource are bagged year-round. In terms of quality, Minnesota peat is comparable to any European or Canadian product.
